be much more important than the reduction of rates in one or two schedules in the tariff i did not promise everything should go downward but that there should be many decreases and that in some few

doesn't thus promote thrift sees the project as an aid to the private bankers winona minn sept 17 â€” president Taft to-night stamped t the payne bill the best tariff law the republican party f ever passed in a 7,000-word speech at the opera house here he made a detailed defense of the entire measure vigorously upholding the action of rep resentative tawney of this city who supported the bill and therefore faces almost certain defeat and declaring that had the bill been de feated or had he Taft vetoed it the republican party would have been demoralized the tariff agitation would have continued business would have been stalled and prosperity halted and the other pledges of the republican party to carry out the policies of roosevelt would have been impossible of redemption all i have to say declared the president who selected winona as the place for this tariff defense because his friend tawney con gressional seat is endangered is in respect to mr tawney action and my own in signing the bill i believed that the interest of the country the interests of the party required me to sacrifice the accomplishment of certain things in the revision of the tariff which i had hoped for in order to maintain party solidarity which i believe to be much more important than the reduction of rates in one or more schedules of the tariff the one thing in the payne law with which the president is not wholly pleased is the wool schedule but he declares that further re vision of the tariff by the present congress cannot be thought of he suggests that the bill be given a thorough trial for a couple of years to the end that republicans may agree upon what is desirable he ex tols the creation of the tariff commission of which he announces an intention to make the broadest use he congratulates the coil-try on the passage of the corporation tax it was the most important speech of his present trip and came di rectly in the wake of a speech delivered at milwaukee this afteruoon in support of postal savings banks and after several references h*l been made by the president during the day to the limitations on the powers of the chief executive and his great dependency upon the house and senate the political effect of the speech will be determined as the presi dent moves further west the audience of 3,000 drawn from a section that has been hostile to the payne bill appeared dazed to-night at the president's daring for the most part the speech was received in silence the president was cheered when he arose to speak and there was an occasional ripple of applause as he proceeded with his address but there was no enthusiasm no demonstration text of taft's two speeches on postal banks milwaukee sept 17 president Taft to-day committed himself flatly and convin cingly in favor of the immediate establish ment of a system of postal savings banks he selected the state fair grounds where he addressed ten thousand farmers as the time and place for making clear his posi tion with regard to this urgent reform and running counter to the views of speak er cannon and senator aldrich he de clared that the time has come for grafting upon our financial system these saving in stitutions of the poor nor is there any effective argument or reason for waiting as has been suggested until the monetary commission works out its plan of currency reform reciting the pledge of the re publican platform to provide postal savings banks and dealing an ironical shaft at the men who are inclined to side-step the prom ise thus made the president 6aid amidst a burst of cheers from his audience i am here to uphold the doctrine of postal savings banks because i believe that they will fill in this country a long felt want u s alone neglects banks from carefully compiled statistics which the presdent had culled from the financial records of other nations he showed that the united states is the sole civilized na tion on earth that has neglected to pro vide the people with this means of laying aside their humble savings he showed that in thirty-two states of the union the savngs bank institutions are utterly inade quate to meet the needs of the people he scouted the objections of the bankers whose denunciatoin of it in Chicago yester day partly called for this speech to-day and convincingly showed that far from being a disadvantage to our financial system the postal savings banks would serve a use ful purpose namely to enable the gov ernment to buy up with the fuuds that will thus come to ha_d the 700,000,(ki of 2 per cent bonds that are just now dis tressing the treasury department the president pleaded for postal sav ings banks as an inducement to poor people to save he pointed out that they would serve to retain in the united states millions of dollars which annually go abroad to the savings banks of europe be cause the people of foreign birth residing on the tariff winoxa minn sept 17.-in his speech upholding the payne tariff bill as a whole president Taft to-night said my fellow citizens as long a*o as august 1906 in the congressional cam paign in maine i ventured to announce that i was a tariff revisionist and thought that the time had come for a readjustment of the schedules 1 pointed out that it had been ten years prior to that time that the dingley bill had been passed that great changes hadi taken place ln the con ditions surrounding the productions ot the farm the factory and the mine and that the rates imposed in the dingley bill in many instances might have become ex cessive that is might have been greater than the difference between the cost of production abroad and the cost of produc tion at home with a sufficient allowasce for a reasonable rate of profit to the amer ican producer reviews his attitude r i said the party was divided on the is sue but that ln my judgment the opinion of the party was crystallizing and would probably result in the near future in an ef fort to make such revision of the tariff due to the threatened disturbance of indus tries to be affected and the suspension of business in a way which made it unwise to have too many revisions in the summer of 1907 my position on the tariff was chal lenged and i then entered into a some what fuller discussion of the matter it was contended by the so-called stand patters that rates beyond the necessary measure of protection were not objection able because behind the tariff wall com petition always reduced the prices and thus saved the consumer but i pointed out in that speech what seems to me as true to day as it was then that the danger of ex cessive rates was in the temptation they created in the form of monopolies in the protected articles and thus to take advan tage of the excessive rates by increasing the prices and therefore and in order to avoid such a danger it was wise at regular intervals to examine the question of what the effect of the rates had been upon th industries of the country and whether the conditions with respect to the cost of pro duction here had so changed as to warrant a reduction iu the tariff and tn make x lowc^rate truly protective of the industrv l 1 e observe^^n^^eouje'.-t

doesn't thus promote thrift sees the project as an aid to the private bankers winona minn sept 17 â€” president Taft to-night stamped t the payne bill the best tariff law the republican party f ever passed in a 7,000-word speech at the opera house here he made a detailed defense of the entire measure vigorously upholding the action of rep resentative tawney of this city who supported the bill and therefore faces almost certain defeat and declaring that had the bill been de feated or had he Taft vetoed it the republican party would have been demoralized the tariff agitation would have continued business would have been stalled and prosperity halted and the other pledges of the republican party to carry out the policies of roosevelt would have been impossible of redemption all i have to say declared the president who selected winona as the place for this tariff defense because his friend tawney con gressional seat is endangered is in respect to mr tawney action and my own in signing the bill i believed that the interest of the country the interests of the party required me to sacrifice the accomplishment of certain things in the revision of the tariff which i had hoped for in order to maintain party solidarity which i believe to be much more important than the reduction of rates in one or more schedules of the tariff the one thing in the payne law with which the president is not wholly pleased is the wool schedule but he declares that further re vision of the tariff by the present congress cannot be thought of he suggests that the bill be given a thorough trial for a couple of years to the end that republicans may agree upon what is desirable he ex tols the creation of the tariff commission of which he announces an intention to make the broadest use he congratulates the coil-try on the passage of the corporation tax it was the most important speech of his present trip and came di rectly in the wake of a speech delivered at milwaukee this afteruoon in support of postal savings banks and after several references h*l been made by the president during the day to the limitations on the powers of the chief executive and his great dependency upon the house and senate the political effect of the speech will be determined as the presi dent moves further west the audience of 3,000 drawn from a section that has been hostile to the payne bill appeared dazed to-night at the president's daring for the most part the speech was received in silence the president was cheered when he arose to speak and there was an occasional ripple of applause as he proceeded with his address but there was no enthusiasm no demonstration text of taft's two speeches on postal banks milwaukee sept 17 president Taft to-day committed himself flatly and convin cingly in favor of the immediate establish ment of a system of postal savings banks he selected the state fair grounds where he addressed ten thousand farmers as the time and place for making clear his posi tion with regard to this urgent reform and running counter to the views of speak er cannon and senator aldrich he de clared that the time has come for grafting upon our financial system these saving in stitutions of the poor nor is there any effective argument or reason for waiting as has been suggested until the monetary commission works out its plan of currency reform reciting the pledge of the re publican platform to provide postal savings banks and dealing an ironical shaft at the men who are inclined to side-step the prom ise thus made the president 6aid amidst a burst of cheers from his audience i am here to uphold the doctrine of postal savings banks because i believe that they will fill in this country a long felt want u s alone neglects banks from carefully compiled statistics which the presdent had culled from the financial records of other nations he showed that the united states is the sole civilized na tion on earth that has neglected to pro vide the people with this means of laying aside their humble savings he showed that in thirty-two states of the union the savngs bank institutions are utterly inade quate to meet the needs of the people he scouted the objections of the bankers whose denunciatoin of it in Chicago yester day partly called for this speech to-day and convincingly showed that far from being a disadvantage to our financial system the postal savings banks would serve a use ful purpose namely to enable the gov ernment to buy up with the fuuds that will thus come to ha_d the 700,000,(ki of 2 per cent bonds that are just now dis tressing the treasury department the president pleaded for postal sav ings banks as an inducement to poor people to save he pointed out that they would serve to retain in the united states millions of dollars which annually go abroad to the savings banks of europe be cause the people of foreign birth residing on the tariff winoxa minn sept 17.-in his speech upholding the payne tariff bill as a whole president Taft to-night said my fellow citizens as long a*o as august 1906 in the congressional cam paign in maine i ventured to announce that i was a tariff revisionist and thought that the time had come for a readjustment of the schedules 1 pointed out that it had been ten years prior to that time that the dingley bill had been passed that great changes hadi taken place ln the con ditions surrounding the productions ot the farm the factory and the mine and that the rates imposed in the dingley bill in many instances might have become ex cessive that is might have been greater than the difference between the cost of production abroad and the cost of produc tion at home with a sufficient allowasce for a reasonable rate of profit to the amer ican producer reviews his attitude r i said the party was divided on the is sue but that ln my judgment the opinion of the party was crystallizing and would probably result in the near future in an ef fort to make such revision of the tariff due to the threatened disturbance of indus tries to be affected and the suspension of business in a way which made it unwise to have too many revisions in the summer of 1907 my position on the tariff was chal lenged and i then entered into a some what fuller discussion of the matter it was contended by the so-called stand patters that rates beyond the necessary measure of protection were not objection able because behind the tariff wall com petition always reduced the prices and thus saved the consumer but i pointed out in that speech what seems to me as true to day as it was then that the danger of ex cessive rates was in the temptation they created in the form of monopolies in the protected articles and thus to take advan tage of the excessive rates by increasing the prices and therefore and in order to avoid such a danger it was wise at regular intervals to examine the question of what the effect of the rates had been upon th industries of the country and whether the conditions with respect to the cost of pro duction here had so changed as to warrant a reduction iu the tariff and tn make x lowc^rate truly protective of the industrv l 1 e observe^^n^^eouje'.-t
